My work:
A Knife to the Heart
Creator: Keith
Heartbreak is a terrible human phenomenon that unfortunately, everybody has to go through at some point in their lives. I wanted to show people that even when they’re feeling more alone and unwanted than ever, there are people who understand their pain, and that things will always get better, given time and effort.
I, Chinese
Creator: Keith
An influencer famous for his racist Chinese impressions faces consequences when his family gets involved.
Writer's Block
Creator: Keith
As a student filmmaker, I found it interesting how different students had different philosophies when it came to creating projects. Some students want to create something deep and profound, while others want to create something comedic or entertaining. I wanted to explore the extremes of both spectrums in my story.
